Day 4

Today was a rainy and cold day that didn't really make me feel like leaving the house. I played around with taking a picture of myself but I just wasn't feeling it. Troy teased me and told me that all you can see in my pic that I showed him was how prominent my lips were in red lipstick. That was the end of that.

I stopped playing around with a picture and decided to make dinner. Dinner time is always a bit of a struggle, mainly because the list of things I refuse to eat is very long. The main one is no meat. I decided a while ago that for my health not eating meat was a must. I have never regretted it and will never in my life eat another animal again. Troy is great about eating whatever I make and he is pretty much up for anything. Except when I mentioned that I was planning on going gluten free. He pretty much was not down for that. I am not pushing it but slowing making changes and he doesn't seem to mind much.

Back to the picture...tonight I made vegetarian chipotle nachos and they were pretty good! I have made them before and I always say to myself that next time I need to add more lettuce. I am a lettuce fiend!

1 chopped green bell pepper 

1 chopped onion 

1 (12-ounce) package meatless fat-free crumbles - I add garlic, adobe and a few other spices 

Chipotle chili diced - add as much as you want! 

2 cups of pinto beans 

2 diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

8 cups baked corn tortilla chips 

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce  -- mmmm

1 cup diced peeled avocado -- Troy refuses to eat avocado so more for me!

3/4 cup vertically sliced red onion 

4 large black olives - sliced

3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese -- vegan cheese is just as good! 

6 tablespoons fat-free sour cream - I would not eat sour cream even on a dare but the husband likes it!

salsa on top :)

Till next time, Romy
